As part of security measures I'm taking for my Landy, I'm fitting an isolator switch. This has become more complicated and difficult than I expected. There is a large and medium wire which goes to the live on the battery. I was told that I need to fit the switch to the live feed, cutting the...

Seems to be a lot of Greenlaning there, but all the videos I've seen are extreme!

Looks interesting, is there a forest drive for the Land Rover there also?

Has anyone seen these snow chains before? Not sure how much they cost though. Don't think we have enough snow in the UK, especially in the South to justify fitting them. Would you fit them to the front wheels?

Thanks, thought that was right, feel assured now :)

Thanks Marmaduke, I expected that response, was cautious as I had been told the large wire, when I have two. Will carry on with the plan to connect the two larger wires to B+ and the single small wire to D+...

Now I have heating and dark nights I have discovered the battery is low spec. and worn out, would not start the other day. Battery has now been replaced with a new higher spec. battery. Although the alternator is charging it doesn't seem to charge very well when the fan and lights are on so I'm...

The thermostat has been replaced with an OEM 88°c. Two of the thermostat housing bolts snapped and had to be replaced. Good news is the temperature reaches 90°c underload, driving uphill on the motorway, but stays at 90°c. Cools to 83°c>85°c'ish otherwise. So the previous thermostat must have...

I want to meet a friend and family somewhere North east of Southampton as this would be between our locations. A forest car park where we can meet up, have a picnic and take the dogs for a walk. A bonus would be able to take the Land Rover on a simple forest drive also. Does anyone have any...

The Waxstat one that I tried to order of their website had a G at the end of the part number

Ok thanks, will go with the OEM one as it is only a few pounds and will arrive tomorrow, but I might then order the WaxStat if I can and keep it in 'stock', I intend to keep this Land Rover for as long as I can afford to in my life, so spares are good!

A quick search results in 2 or 3 websites the page is no longer available, another website you have to call to place an order when other parts can be bought online. This does suggest that the WaxStat has become difficult to get hold of...

I chased my order as it hadn't arrived and I was beginning to wonder when it would arrive and I discovered that the original WaxStat Err2803 Thermostat is no longer available, well John Craddocks are having difficulty sourcing it. So I changed my order to the OEM Err2803 Thermostat which should...

Just ordered the original Waxstat Err2803 Thermostat. with a replacement gasket just in case... I'll tell you what happens when I fit it, I will remove my thermal regulator once I fit the thermocouple...

I've designed and fitted a thermal regulator. Safety clip keeps it in place.. Now runs at 83°c Will remove the regulator after winter... You think this is acceptable ?

It probably is fine, but not hot enough to keep my feet warm!!! Ok, thick socks and boots on whilst in the Landy in winter then....

Hi Trax, After running this for a few months and the weather getting colder, I now have a better idea of what temperature this engine is running at. Generally the engine runs at 70°c. I went up a long steep hill today and the temperature rose to 80°c, then once on the flat went back down to...

Perfect Redwood, My wiring is not a problem as I worked as a wireman, I needed the type of wire and switch and if you say a relay isn't needed, all the better! Great I now know what I need to buy tomorrow and once I have the bits can make a start, thanks!

This is Moominmamma's forest drive: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/monicas-forest-drive-at-thesimply-land-rover-beaulieu-national-motor-museum-2015.287498/
